Chapter 55 Extra 1 —
That day, in the warehouse district of Yokohama Port, Uta used the World Stone to open the portal, preparing to send Morofushi Hiromitsu back to the Conan world.
She had originally planned to finish work and go home after sending away the fake wine from the distillery, but unexpectedly, a certain black mud spirit suddenly appeared and disrupted her plans.
As Chuuya Nakahara, who was chasing Dazai Osamu, controlled the boulder to smash towards her, Uta, while having Morofushi Kagemitsu enter the portal to return to the Conan world, clenched her fist to try to break the boulder. However, Dazai Osamu, who was running over, seemed to slip and pushed her into the portal.
Of course, the culprit who pushed her in also went in, causing the boulder to fall and completely destroy the portal.
"Dazai-san! You did this on purpose, didn't you!" Kata said accusingly, strongly suspecting that Dazai was very interested in Morofushi Kagemitsu's world and deliberately provoked Nakahara Chuuya to come over.
Wearing a sand-colored trench coat, Dazai Osamu said innocently, "Young lady, you really misunderstand me. I just accidentally blew up the little slug's motorcycle. I didn't expect him to chase me all the way to the warehouse area. How petty!"
Kaga was speechless, thinking that Dazai Osamu must have deliberately blown it up. If he were Nakahara Chuuya, he would definitely hunt down this black mud spirit who destroyed his beloved car. That was just too much!
Looking at the bandaged, wasting device in front of her—who had jumped ship to the Armed Detective Agency and transformed from Dark Dazai into Armed Detective Dazai—with a headache, Uta almost pleaded, "Mr. Dazai, isn't this the Armed Detective Agency's working hours? Could you please not slack off during working hours from now on?"
Dazai Osamu has become even more difficult to deal with since leaving the Port Mafia. Although he tries to be helpful, his constant lateness and early departures, pushing all the work onto others, are really enough. Please leave Kunikida alone. Even though I've never met that junior who always carries around his "ideal notebook," I know from snippets of conversation with Ranpo, Odasaku, and others how irritable Kunikida is with his extremely undisciplined partner every day.
After all, she was the one who introduced this scoundrel to the club. I sincerely hope Dazai won't always cause trouble, otherwise she, as the introducer, will lose face.
Finally back in his own world, Morofushi Kagemitsu looked around at the familiar houses and streets with joy and excitement, but then began to worry about how Uta and Dazai Osamu would get back.
When he voiced his concerns, Ka said rather casually, "Don't worry, once the World Foundation's cooldown period is over and it's stained with Dazai-san's blood, it will restart and send us back."
Morofushi Kagemitsu breathed a sigh of relief, then suggested, "Since this is the first time Uta and Dazai have come to this world, why don't I show you around?"
Seeing that Morofushi Kagemitsu kindly wanted to act as a tour guide, Uta was about to agree when Dazai Osamu said, "It's best not to! As a former colleague, I'm giving you some friendly advice: Morofushi-kun, you'd better leave us as soon as possible!"
Kaga frowned at the man whose actions were always unpredictable. Although she didn't know why Dazai said that, she knew he must have his reasons. So she said to the police officer in front of her, "Let's listen to Mr. Dazai. Don't worry about us. Mr. Dazai and I will go back in a while."
Although Morofushi Kagemitsu also didn't understand why Dazai said that, he had been with him for so long and was very convinced of his abilities, so he nodded and said, "Since Dazai-kun and Waka have said so, then let's part ways here. I look forward to the opportunity to meet again in the future."
He then gave them his private phone number in the world, telling them they could contact him anytime if they needed anything.
"Okay, I'll write down your phone number. We'll definitely meet again in the future."
Uta smiled and waved goodbye to Morofushi Kagemitsu. Then she turned to Dazai Osamu, intending to ask him what his plans were, but found that the guy had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
She quickly used her senses to locate the suicidal maniac, then breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the guy had gone into the bookstore a few steps away, no wonder he suddenly disappeared.
Suddenly remembering that this wasn't the Bungo Stray Dogs world, and imagining Dazai seeing the entire wall of the bookstore's literature section filled with familiar names of domestic and foreign classics, Uta felt completely overwhelmed and rushed in, wanting to drag Dazai out before he discovered the truth.
As soon as he entered, he saw Dazai carrying a stack of Oda Saku's books and placing them on the cashier's counter. He then took out a card and asked the clerk to swipe it, and surprisingly, the clerk actually succeeded in paying by swiping the card, leaving Kata completely astonished.
"Where did you get this card?" It couldn't possibly be Chuuya's. Although Dazai liked to swipe his card, Kata was absolutely certain that Bungo's card wouldn't work in the Conan world.
Dazai held the black card between his long, slender fingers and said with a half-smile, "It's Gin's card. It still works, doesn't it!"
Song suddenly understood why he had told Morofushi Kagemitsu to leave as soon as possible. He had already secretly used Gin's card, and it wouldn't be long before that guy came to kill him!
At the same time, she also realized that Dazai's arrival in this world was indeed premeditated, and he even knew the truth that everyone was a literary giant from the beginning. Otherwise, why would he happen to have Gin's card on him, and why would he buy Oda Sakunosuke's book in less than five minutes after arriving here, as if he had been prepared in advance?
When Dazai Osamu came out of the bookstore carrying Oda Saku's book, Uta asked hesitantly, "How did you know?"
Dazai knew exactly what she was asking, and said lightly, "I've been colleagues with Morofushi-kun for two years. Miss, you're underestimating me too much."
Kata thought about it and realized that this man was known as the one who had the script in his hands. In terms of intelligence, he was no less than Ranpo. He had spent two years with Morofushi Kagemitsu, so what could he not know?
"What are Dazai-san's plans now?" Kata looked at the stack of books in Dazai's hands and thought that with so many books, he probably wouldn't be able to go anywhere to have fun.
"Let's find a quiet place to read." Dazai said, already looking at the coffee shop not far away, seemingly quite fond of it.
I really like the place; the environment looks great and it's a perfect place to kill time.
Having reached an agreement, the two entered the coffee shop. Kata ordered two coffees and two cakes, then looked at Dazai Osamu across from her, who had already opened a book, and said, "Mr. Dazai, why did you only buy Oda Sakunosuke's books? Don't you plan to read other people's works? For example, Dazai Osamu's *No Longer Human* or Nakahara Chuuya's *In the Turbid Melancholy*, aren't you curious?"
"Tsk, I don't want to buy that little dwarf's books. Reading his poems would make me so nauseous I wouldn't be able to eat. As for No Longer Human, I don't want to read that either; it's definitely the kind of book that's incredibly depressing."
Dazai spoke with obvious disdain, causing Kagami's lips to twitch involuntarily.
"Dazai-san seems to know himself quite well."
"Don't compare me to that guy. Even if he also likes suicide, there's a fundamental difference between us. I am who I am, not just someone who wears Dazai Osamu's name."
Dazai Osamu, without looking up from the book in his hand, spoke with an extremely strong confidence that left Ka in awe. As expected of Dazai Osamu from Bungo Stray Dogs, he must have already learned about the literary giant Dazai Osamu from Morofushi Kagemitsu, which is why he said those words.
"If you believe there is a fundamental difference between the two, why bother reading novels by the literary giant Oda Sakunosuke?"
"Even with the differences, the possibility of them writing the same book is still very high. Is this answer satisfactory, Miss?"
Song fell silent for a moment. So, Dazai Osamu went to all this trouble just to see what Oda Sakunosuke might write in the future? What an incredibly touching bromance!
The coffee and cake were quickly served by the waiter, and Ge relaxed and began to enjoy the food.
Unfortunately, before they could finish a piece of cake, new customers entered the café, including a certain elementary school student who is a death god, Ai Haibara, who is known as the radar of the Black Organization, and Professor Agasa, who has come up with all sorts of inventions.
Ge could no longer eat the cake and began silently calculating the chances of a murder occurring in the coffee shop later.
If the Detective Boys, Ran Mouri, Kogoro Mouri, and Sonoko Suzuki were all here, the probability of a murder would be 100%. But now that there are only three people, the possibility of a murder has suddenly decreased a lot.
Thinking of this, she silently breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, it would be super troublesome if a murder occurred later! At least it would be impossible for Dazai to read his book in peace. Who knows what kind of trouble that black mud spirit would cause.
At this moment, the trio had found seats and sat down. Ai Haibara was about to order when she saw the song not far away and her face turned pale with fear. Her body trembled uncontrollably. This was her typical reaction when she encountered the Black Organization.
I've been watching the song closely and saw Ai Haibara's terrified expression. I'm confused. Hey, she's not a member of the Black Organization, so why is my radar activated?
Upon noticing Ai Haibara's reaction, Conan immediately suspected that Uta was connected to the Black Organization. He then took out a bugging device made by Professor Agasa and deliberately walked past the two of them. He then pretended to fall down and stuck the bugging device onto Dazai Osamu's clothes, which looked completely harmless.
Having been watching Conan's songs for a while, I couldn't help but chuckle at this scene. Who knew Dazai Osamu would have a day like this? Serves him right! He's always stuffing listening devices into other people's bodies; now he's getting the same treatment.
As expected of a man with the script in hand, Dazai Osamu sensed something was wrong as soon as he heard the laughter in the song. Recalling what had just happened when the child touched him, he immediately reached out and found the listening device stuck to his clothes.
Conan, who was secretly observing the situation, immediately changed his expression. He hadn't expected that the bugging device, which he always managed to install successfully, would be discovered so quickly. Now all three of them were in danger; the Black Organization would definitely kill them to silence them if they realized they were being bugged.
Just as Conan gripped the watch-shaped tranquilizer to prepare for the song, she pounded the table and burst into laughter, "Mr. Dazai, you never thought you'd end up like this, did you? How does it feel to have a listening device planted on you?!"
Conan: "..." This style is a bit unlike that of the Black Organization.
Dazai Osamu toyed with the button-sized listening device in his hand. "What a delicate little thing! I really want it!"
"Dream on, I will never let you get your hands on something like that." Kaga said righteously, determined not to let Dazai Osamu get close to Conan and obtain such a small bugging device, otherwise it might stick to him without anyone noticing.
She then snatched the bugging device from Dazai's hand and looked at Conan, who was looking tense, saying, "Kudo-kun, don't be afraid. Dazai and I are not members of the Black Organization, and we have no ill intentions towards you or Sherry. We certainly won't reveal your identities. You can leave now if you want. By the way, well done! These guys who always put bugging devices in other people's clothes need to be taught a lesson."
Conan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her words and immediately wanted to leave with Ai Haibara and Professor Agasa.
However, at that moment, he saw Gin and Vodka about to enter the cafe. His expression immediately changed, and he pulled Haibara under the table, confirming that Gin's arrival was definitely related to those two.
Indeed, as Gin entered the café, his sharp gaze swept across the room and went straight to the table where Uta and Dazai were. Vodka, who followed closely behind, greeted the two respectfully before Gin spoke, "Mr. Dazai, Miss, I didn't expect to see you two here."
Upon discovering that his card had been used, he suspected it was Ge who had come. Unexpectedly, even that most trusted executive showed up; it seemed he was the one who swiped the card. He'd heard before that Dazai-san frequently stole Gravity Users' cards, but he never imagined he'd encounter this situation himself.
Conan listened to the sounds coming from the bugging device and fell into deep thought, wondering what the relationship was between those two and the Black Organization. Especially the way Gin addressed her as "Young Lady" felt a little off.
"Yo! Gin, long time no see." Dazai Osamu greeted him casually, without any remorse for stealing someone else's card.
Kaka didn't have his strong mentality. She smiled awkwardly at Gin and said, "I'm sorry, Gin. Dazai and I came here without any preparation, so we can only use your card."
"It's alright." Gin pulled up a chair and sat down. "How long do you two plan to stay here?"
"I'll be back in a bit. I'm so glad to see Gin before I leave!"
"I'm really happy," said the singer, resting her chin on her hand. "Even though Gin isn't a good person, we've known each other for so long, and he's done so much for these drinks, so there's bound to be some affection for him."
"That's a real shame," Gin said expressionlessly, showing no sign of regret whatsoever.
For the rest of the time, Dazai Osamu continued reading, Gin sat silently, and Vodka was also reluctant to speak, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere. Uta racked her brains trying to find topics to talk about, feeling like she had lost a lot of brain cells.
Finally, the cooldown period for the World Foundation was almost over, and Kaga couldn't wait to say goodbye to Gin.
Considering that Conan and Ai Haibara were still inside and couldn't be seen in the light, she specifically asked Gin and Vodka, who usually just played a background role, to escort her and Dazai. Gin, who usually seemed difficult to talk to, surprisingly agreed this time and left the cafe with Uta and Dazai.
Incidentally, since the card had already been returned to Gin, Gin still paid the bill, leaving Conan and Ai Haibara, who secretly witnessed everything, with speechless expressions. They never expected that Gin, who seemed so cold and ruthless, would have this side to him.
In the small park near the cafe, Kaguya sensed that Conan and Ai Haibara had left the vicinity before she felt relieved and prepared to leave.
She stained the World Foundation with Dazai Osamu's blood, and the space-time portal opened. It wasn't the convenient portal of light she had seen before, but a pitch-black tunnel. She couldn't help but marvel at how realistic Conan's world consciousness was. Without people from this world passing through, even the portal suddenly turned into this state. Thumbs down!
Goodbye!
Uta waved to Gin and Vodka and then led Dazai Osamu into the tunnel. After a moment of weightlessness, they returned to the previous port.
Dazai Osamu, now back on solid ground, looked at his empty hands without much surprise and said, "The book is gone!"
"It must have fallen by accident while passing through the tunnel. Mr. Dazai, please wait patiently for Oda to write his book."
Kaga offered little persuasion, only wanting to quickly separate from Dazai so she could go back and pack the things she planned to bring back to the Demon Slayer world.
As soon as she finished speaking, Dazai Osamu jumped into the sea without warning to carry out his usual suicide, leaving her feeling utterly exhausted as she rushed to retrieve the black mud spirit from the sea.
Enough already! Can you please stop threatening suicide over the slightest disagreement?! I'm exhausted!
That night, Song lay down on the bed, feeling exhausted, hoping to get a good night's sleep. Although she hadn't done any strenuous exercise that day, being with Dazai Osamu had really taken a toll on her mental health!
Suddenly I feel incredibly sorry for Kunikida, he must have been incredibly unlucky to have a partner like that!
Song closed her eyes and fell asleep quickly, but she didn't expect to wake up in her dream and see Tsugikuni Iwakatsu practicing his sword as diligently as ever.
She yawned, clearly not in the mood to practice her swordplay, and sat lazily on the floor under the eaves, looking rather listless.
"What's wrong? You look so listless." Kokushibo, who had just finished practicing his sword, came over and asked. Although he had no expression and his tone was indifferent, he was actually very concerned about Uta, who was practically his childhood friend.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."
"Then lie down for a while."
"No, the floor is too hard, I'd rather sit down."
As I listened to the song, I felt my eyelids getting heavy and I suddenly felt very sleepy, my body even swaying slightly.
Seeing that Ge looked tired, Ji Guoyansheng sat down next to her and said, "Then lean on me and rest for a while."
Hearing her friend's words, Ge, who was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open, didn't think much of it. She leaned on Yan Sheng's shoulder, closed her eyes, and surprisingly fell asleep quickly. Yan Sheng was slightly surprised, not expecting Ge to be able to fall asleep even in her dreams.
Turning his head slightly to look at the blonde girl sleeping against him, Iwakatsu, who was sitting upright, suddenly felt his face getting hot. This was the first time he had been so close to Ka.
As he grew older, Kokushiro Iwakatsu, now a teenager, developed feelings for his childhood sweetheart, Uta. Especially after learning that his father had chosen a marriage partner for him, Iwakatsu, who was initially very resistant to the idea, realized that the person he wanted to marry was Uta.
If my wife were this girl who always had a bright smile, our home would surely be filled with joy, and our children would definitely be adorable. It would be best if we had several children, so that the whole family could be together in a lively and happy atmosphere.
At only fourteen years old, Tsugikuni Iwakatsu was already thinking about how many children he would have in Waka, completely unaware of how difficult it would be to raise children.
Many years later, when Kokushibo Tsugikuni, now Upper Moon One, had a child named Muichiro Tsugikuni, he realized how naive he had been as a child.
Although Muichiro was very well-behaved when he was first born and never cried, the diapers he had to change every day shattered Kokushiro's dignity as the Upper Moon One.
Unfortunately, being a demon, he couldn't hire servants and had to take care of his son himself. The transition from samurai to stay-at-home dad was quite a leap.
